The Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Meet and OrGanize-JUdge Cooley Chair
man.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Y Yesterday Messrs.
Cooley, Morrison, ScbOOnmaker and Walk
er, four of the five members of the Inter
state Commerce Commission called at the
White House and paid their respects to the
President. Commissioner Bragg did not
arrive in the city in time to go with them,
but called at the White House shortly
afterward, and then joined his asso-
ciates and an informal gathering took
place. At three O'Clock the commission
ers met by agreement at the Interior
Department, where their commissions were
handed to them and the prescribed oath Of
office administered. On motion of Colonel
Morrison Judge Cooley was selected as
chairman of the commission. This action
was unanimous, and was taken without
discussion, the members having all come
to the conclusion that Judge Cooley was
best fitted for the position. The commits
sion then proceeded to the temporary quar-
ters selected for them in the HoOe building
on F street Just below the Ebbitt House,
and after an inspection Of the rooms parted
with the understanding that another meet
ing should be held to-day for cOnsulta-
tiOn. No candidates for the secretarYship
of the commission were proposed, and that
matter is still in allegiance. Prior to the Sc
lection of Judge Cooley as chairman,
Messrs. Morrison, Bragg and SchoOn-
maker, the three Democratic mem
bers, held conference, in which it
was decided that in view of Judge
Cooley's long experience and eminence as
a judge and in order to demonstrate to the
country that it was their object to promote
harmony and uuanimity Colonel Morrison
should propose and Mr.. Bragg second Judge
Cooley's nomination. The first business
that will come before the board after its
organization will be the fixing of the time
anu place for the hearing Of questions to be
submitted by NJ. H. Smith, vice president
of the Louisville q Nashville railroad, and
Virgil Powers, general commissioner of
pool rates for the Southern Railway and
Steamship Company. These questions re-
late to the long and short haul provisions
of the Interstate Commerce act as it ap-
plies to the railroads east of the Mississp-
pi river, south of the Ohio and west of the

MONKEYS IN INDIA.

Their shrevdness Surpassed Only by Their
InControllable Greed for Corn.
/ remember once coming across n
Hindoo who was piously scattering
corn for the monkeys, about hundred
of which were gathered round him
snatching up the grain with greedy
hands and cutting soundly any monkey
that poached on his ncighbor's share.
Swarms of other monkeys were sitting
on the trees and banks close by, with
faces of rueful resignation, looking
wstfully at the feast before them; but
the man explained to us that they be-
longcd TO a different caste, and would
be half killed If they attempted To Join
the party. One huge fellow we noticed
particularly, who sat as near as he
dared and looked ON, but did not try 10
pick up so much as an outlying grain,
although we were told he was "a noted
wrestler"
IN certain camping-grounds the mon
KEYS were perfect pests. frequently
stealing the servants dinners, and
even snatching food out Of their hands,
or carrying of their copper cooking
pots, rushing up tree with them, and
throwing them down after eating the
contents. The servants would often
come and complain Of their misdoings,
but redress there was none; wide as an
Indian civilian's jurisdiction is, it does
not extend over the mOnkcy-world.
The natives have an ingenious way
Of catching monkeys, so simple that ID
may with truth be said that the monkey
catches himself A narrOw-mouthed
jar is filed with corn, and accidentally,
Of course, left on the ground. The
ever-watchful monkeys quickly take
note Of this, and no sooner is the owner
Of the jar out Of sight than they steal
up to inspect and discuss their wind
fall. Having satisfied themselves that
there is no trap. one of them thrusts in
his arm and snatches "a handful of
corn. lie then finds that the mouth of
the jar is too narrow to let him with
draw his doubled fist, but he never
thinks Of dropping the corn, and ous
rushes the owner from behind a tree
and treacherously slips q moose around

graduating from that institution with the
class of 1868 He then entered the Harvard
law school and was admitted to the bar in
1865, and subsequently became one of the
firm of Hart, Hale, Schwartz & Fairchild,
one of the most successful legal combina-
tions in New York In 1874 he was ap-
pointed Deputy AttOrney-General and
in his first political position he so distin-
guished himself that in the ensuing
year he was nominated by the Dem
ocratic party for the Attorney Generalship
and was elected. He served in this capaci-
ty for two years-and they were eventful
ones for the people OF New YOrk-because
the canal ring was receiving the attention
of Governor Tilden, and his Attorney
General cordially seconded his efforts to
rid the State of them and their methods.
Upon the expiration of his term as At
torney-General Mr.. FairchiId in 1878 visited
Europe for the second time, his first trip
having occurred in 1871. While on the con
tinent the future Secretary made a careful
study of the monetary systems of the old
world, and when he returned to New York
he had gained valuable fund of infOrma-
tion. From 1889, when he returned from
Europe, up to the time he was called to
Washington as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Mr.. FairchiId was practicing his
profession in New York City. The
new secretary is a very straightfor-
ward man of business, easy of ac-
cess, for it has been his boast since
he came to Washington that his door has
always been open to callers, no matter
what their business, and in this respect he
has shown a marked difference from other
officials of the new administration. His
face IS round and smoothly shaveu, a
closely clipped black must ache being con-
spicuOus above the firm mouth, while in
stature he is slightly above the medium
height, compacty built and weighs about
$50 pounds. He is a firm believer in the
efficiency of equestrian exercise, and every
evening at the close Of business mounts his
smart bay roadster and rides at a canter
through the suburbs as an appetizer for
dinner. Socially he and his wife are very
popular and his hospitable mansion has al
ways been thronged during the gay season.
Mr.. Maynard is the present Second Comp
troller of the Treasury, having been ap-
pointed to that position by President Cleve-
land on June l, 1885. He made an excellent
record.

BISMARCK K"
The Chief witness Against Arensd

The Chief Witness Against Arensdorf
Shown Up by Acquaintance.
SIOUX CITY Iowa, April lin the Had
dock murder case yesterday Minnie Kosch-
inslxi swore that ArensdOrf, to aid her and
Koschinski to leave the city, purchased
their house and lot and gave her mother
$3.50 in money. At this point the State rest
ed its case.
Policeman ". A. Smith, the first witness
for the defense, testified he saw BISMARCK
on the night of the Sd on the corner Of
Douglas and Fourth streets, drunk, and
told hun to 90 home. This was about mid
night and after the killing of Haddock.
Adolph Metz testified that he met BIS
marck' about nine o'clock August 3, as he
(''Bismarck') was coming out of Herman's 5
saloon. He next saw Bismarck at one
o'clock in the morning, very drunk, on the
sidewalk near his residence, where he re
manned about an hour. He saw him again
at nine o'clock in the morning, when he
was partially sobered up, and he said ho
had not been home that night. The wit
ness was cross examined, but nothing OF
| special interest was developed.
William Metz, father of the last witness,
testified that Bismarck had asked for
admittance to his house at a very early
| hour on the morning of August 4.
Oscar Brldewell, a policeman, testified
that he saw "Bismarck'' at 1O:30 on the
| night of. August 3 on the corner of Fourth
and Douglas streets; that he was witness
at the scene of the killing, which happened
| about 1918. 1t was shortly after this when
| he ordered Bismarck" who was very
| drunk to 60 home.
George Rice testified that August l he
had tried to employ Bismarck to assist
| him in digging a well and that he offered to
pay him $3 per day, but he had refused it,
/ saying that he and Treiber could make
more money doing up preachers. He saw
him at his place about twelve o'clock on
the Sunday morning prior to the shooting,
and that time he said he and George Treiber
could make more money doing up lawyers
and preachers than digging wells but did
not say any thing about killing preachers.
Bismarck was then recalled and de-
MED altthe statements made by Rice, ex-
| cept that Rice called at his home on Sun
| day.
! Rice was then cross-examined, but his
! evidence was not shaken.

ALL LOSI.
The Steamer Eagle and Two Hundred and
Fifty Lives Lost.


ST. JOINS, Newfoundland, April 1.-The
reported loss Of the steamer Eagle is con.
firmed by the discovery of wreckage on
BOnavista bay. The crew numbered 25C
men, and there is nothing to show that any
one was saved The steamer was lost on
the shoals near Funk island, off Bonavista
bay. Debris consisting Of deck ladders, the
forecastle deck and cooking gear, with the
steamers name, were found on the ice, and
the inhabitants are on the lookout for the
bodies Of the drowned. The condition Of
the wreckage leads to the belief that the
vessel was lost through a boiler explosion.
Most of the lost seamen lived in and about
St Johns, and the excitement and grief
here are intense, and women and children
are weeping at home or clamoring at the
telegraph and newspaper Offices for further
information. 1t IS said that the steamer 5
boilers were in such a condition that she
should never have gone to sea. This was
whispered about soon after she sailed for
the fisheries and the report that the wreck
age indicates a boiler explosion is taken as
evidence that all on board were lost.
Captain Jackman, commander Of the i'll
fated vessel, was considered the bravest
skipper Newfoundland ever produced. He
was called ''King Of the Sealing Fleet" uu-
til 1885, when, for the first time ia his ex-
perience, he failed to secure any seals.
Last year bad luck again overlook him and
he lost the steamer ResOlutc near the same
fatal Funk's island, but all his crew es-
capped Later the same year, he took com
mand Of the Eagle and within a few weeks
she broke her shaft. She was refittcd and
a month ago started with the rest of the
feet, on what is now feltas her last voyage.
The majority OF the crew are married and
reside in this city and vicinity, and all are
in the prime Of life. The city IS in mourn
ing to-day. This is the greatest calamity
and most frightful loss Of life in the his
tory Of this unfortunate colony.
The steamer Eagle was last seen by the
steamer Aurora on the night Of March IL,
near Funk's island. A terrible sea was
running at the time. The next morning
the Aurora could find no trace of the Eagle.
